Contrary to the mounting rumors on the street that Robert Pattinson has body odor, Alex Meraz says the British movie hunk "smells like roses." Asked about Robert's much-talked smell, the film star told E! News at the Armani Exchange watch launch party at the SLS Hotel on Wednesday night, April 15, "The first time I met him, I was like, 'Dude, you smell fantastic!'"

"I don't know where people get this stuff from," he continued. On how Rob responded to his praise, Alex claimed, "He blushed and did his hair thing. He's comfortable in his own sexuality."

Robert Pattinson, the leading actor in "Twilight" and its highly anticipated sequel "The Twilight Saga's New Moon," has been hit with numerous negative reports regarding his body odor. Most recently, it was reported that some crew on the set of "New Moon" complained that he "stinks and never showers." Robert himself has insisted in an interview with MovieFone that he showers.

Alex Meraz is Robert's co-star in "New Moon" and is billed to play the role of a volatile member of the wolf pack named Paul. Both of them and the film's other cast currently are in Vancouver, Canada, filming the flick, which will be released in U.S. theaters November 20 later this year.

posted by SweetImpakt on Apr 17, 2009I think it is very nasty that people spread around things like this. It's absolutely unfriendly.
but I too find Rob pattinson smoking very very sexy. He's the only one who can smoke and still be sexy.

posted by Madi on Apr 17, 2009Haha. Of course rob smells lovely. Gosh. People are such idiots. Makes me wanna smack people one. And... as for the smoking. Who cares, he's an adult. Sure it's a turn off to some people, but why would it matter. It's not like any of us could ever be able to date this gorgeous man anyway. I hate smoking... but for some reason, rob and his gutiar playing, singing, smoking, scruffy hair thing... is very sexy to me. Any other guy or star I've seen smoking I find gross. Can anyone explain to me why I find it sexy he smokes.. ahha. Cos I don't get it!

posted by crittel on Apr 17, 2009He has already made it plain to the media that he was just joking around and the lies got out of control.

posted by cmclaura on Apr 17, 2009I just think it's a shame when any young person has the smoking habit. It's so hard to get rid of and so bad for you.

posted by for better or worse on Apr 17, 2009rob is hella hot.
too bad he smokes.
that's a downer.
i still love twilight though.

posted by JJ on Apr 17, 2009Well Madi my dear, you find it sexy because you are OBSESSED with this guy, (just like me) and when you are obsessed nothing really matters. For instance, I wouldn't care if he never bathed and smelled like a cigar factory. Now I can't say that about any other guy I know, like say, my husband. Terrible I know. Obsession, it's a beautiful thing.
